Price of Management

Basque tried to collect his spirit. But it wasn't easy. His sincerely strong and vigorous flow of error did not show any signs of settling.

So far, Basque has only strengthened and moved his error and has never tried to sink.

‘Then I guess I don't really fit in with the word' peace. '’

Basque Kunt was always like that.

Born the eldest son of the Kunt family, I was sold to swordsmanship as a successor to the orthodox family.

I wanted to be strong.

Reason?

You can put all kinds of reasons on it. I want to rebuild the Kunt family, which is ignored in noble societies, to be a strong knight and contribute to the kingdom and the country, to be remembered in history for being invincible, etc…….

But he didn't need a reason to want to be strong.

It is strengthened by sweaty efforts, fights, and wins to a feeling of achievement. What better life could there be?

You may be accused of being simply ignorant of life, but at least Basque was honest and true to his natural desires. That's why I was able to become strong quickly.

But the word "rest" did not exist in Basque. In retrospect, it seemed like he had been running breathlessly so far.

For him, peace was too far away.

The error did not calm down at all.

I suppressed all my scattered errors in the hall to come, but they were staggering as if they were about to run away. This was the only reason I was forced to keep her immobilized.

‘Wrong. To become a master, I had to rule from the inside. ’

In fact, Basque has already reached extreme levels of sword and error control. That is why we were able to make even the Master's proprietary, the Error Blade. although it doesn't last very long.

But what Basque neglected to train was the mental side.

His mind is not ready for the ultimate swordsmanship.

Basque realized what to practice, feeling his limitations for not placing the error at a level.

Basque stopped his training and stood up.

However, Richard, sitting across the street, is immersed in error brewing and has not noticed.

“Well, let's leave it at that. ”

Basque abandons Richard irresponsibly and swoops away.

Starting the next day, Basque was stuck in a private training ground and did not step outside.

I warned the servant not to bring water and food again.

I sat in the middle of the training ground with no one there and started training to leave the error in a calm state. It was a spiritual lamb.

Sitting by myself, I kept thinking about the complaint. The Master's Land, Family, Territory, War……. I tried to get rid of the idea of arrogance. To leave the error in a tranquil state, we had to make our minds free.

I often practiced for days after I skipped meals. Patience was familiar to Basque.

But just sitting around like this was much harder than fierce sword training.

Basque, for example, was vulnerable to static sheep. It was because he was struggling and liked to move his body.

‘Damn it.'

I wanted to get up and wield the Long Sword at once. I wanted to have a duel with all the knights.

I remember participating in civil wars many years ago. Scream, violence, blood, scream, death, survival, roar, honor……. How much fun it was when I rode the battlefield on horseback. There were so many enemies to fight me. Everyone was amazed and praised, but it wasn't great. I just wanted to fight.

Whoo-hoo!

The error was greatly exaggerated.

‘Oops.’

Basque realizes he's lost his cool again. I quickly calmed my mind and ruled over the error.

I can't believe how hard it was to clear my mind.

Basque was furious with himself for not letting his mind be at peace.

The bogeyman came through.

‘I will not leave the training ground until this happens. Let's see who wins. ’

It was a Basque that committed itself to the sheep that met even the enemies of life and death.

And then it was a hard time.

The Excellent Excellence of Exports was a fine day without a few days' meals.

However, after more than a week, I started to lose my energy. He did not even drink water, so it was natural for him to weaken. Even if they could maintain their stamina with error, there were limitations.

It was painful.

I remembered all kinds of food and desperately wanted a sip of water.

Will my family be worried about me and bring me water and food?

I was entertained by such expectations and delusions.

On the other hand, I fought with myself like that.

‘Come on, come on. You think I'm gonna stand here like that? ’

It was a Basque used to fight with itself. No matter how painful he was, he was confident to endure it. I was used to hurting myself. His life could be represented by two things: resection and fighting.

It's past the full moon.

Hungry and thirsty, I became more and more sensitive. Even the smallest thought can easily provoke me to anger. As I starved, my emotions became violent and extreme.

At that time, I felt popular outside the private training ground. The senses of Basque became increasingly sensitive and could capture its popularity like a ghost.

The sound of footsteps is getting closer.

Basque was furious.

I told you not to let anyone in. And you disobeyed me? If I don't want to be disturbed by my training, I'll have to give you a big shout.

Basque, who was so thirsty and hungry that he wanted to run away from the training ground right away, strangely became furious.

Arthur was the only one who finally entered the training ground. Arthur, his oldest son, was holding a tray of milk and bread.

The milk and bread made me drool. But Basque took hold of himself, and instead, he spoke to Arthur.

“I thought I told you not to let anyone in! ”

Arthur was shocked.

Basque itself was surprised as well. At last, I almost poured out my anger on Arthur, who had been suffering from thirst and hunger.

"You think I'm mad at Arthur? ’

The opposing Pokémon is Arthur, so the cunning suppresses and endures. For Arthur who lived an exemplary life, he was scolded when Basque got angry and had never been angry.

Fortunately, Arthur was not embarrassed or embarrassed. Arthur laughed and said.

“Leyra said she wanted to take a meal with her. He said he won't be scolded because he likes him. ”

The words reminded me of a cute daughter-in-law who always cares about herself. Basque felt a slight receding sensation.

“I have a good daughter-in-law. ”

“Haha, I see. However, I brought it myself because the man is face-to-face and I can't get ahead of him. Here you go. ”

“Take it out. As I just saw, I am easily angry because I am now very nervous. I don't want to be mad at you, so don't make me say the same thing twice. ”

“You're cutting water and food for training. ”

“Yes.”

Arthur pauses in his thoughts, then opens his mouth.

“The Drama of the Sword is one of every possible reasons in the world, right? ”

“Of course.”

“What I do know is, there's only one thing I know about the world. ”

Basque looked up at Arthur.

Arthur laughed and said.

“If you're hungry, you should eat bread. ”

“What?"

Arthur said to Basque, who was confused.

“I don't think it's appropriate for everything in the world to be nutritious and seek the ultimate swordsmanship against it. ”

“What do you know? I am training to rule the mind. Take it away from me. I have to get away from my physical obsession. ”

However, Arthur placed the tray of bread and milk in front of Basque.

“You said you control your mind, but I think you're obsessed with fighting thirst and hunger. ”

Basque was stunned. Arthur's words sharpened his heart.

Arthur turns his back and goes out, adding,

“My father always fought. He fought against the enemy, and if he didn't, he made an enemy of himself. Don't you think swordsmanship is a means of attacking yourself and driving him away? The reason I admire you is not because you work hard every day, but because of the struggle that I don't have. Sometimes I worry about it. ”

“ ……?! ”

Arthur disappears outside, leaving behind a startled basque.

‘I... fought with me?' ’

All my life's experiences have passed through my mind like a horse.
